#ThreeListThursday #tlt

I got so excited reading everyone else's posts that I forgot to post mine! I chose my three favorites. In fact, they're in my top 10 of all time!
In no particular order:
1. CASABLANCA: “Louis, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.“
2. GONE WITH THE WIND: “After all, tomorrow is another day.“
3. REBECCA: “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.“

Thanks to all who played! 🍿❣️📽️

Oscar Wars, by Michael Schulman (2023)

Premise: A history of the Academy Awards told through the stories of several pivotal moments across the decades.

Review: This is a fascinating and generally successful piece of nonfiction. My only struggle with it is the decision to tell the story of the Oscars through long, in-depth vignettes, rather than through a traditional survey. (Cont.)

Apparently #FridayFilms isn't already a thing. I plan to watch Ingmar Bergman's Nattvardsgästerna (usually called 'Winter Light' or 'The Communicants' in the US) tonight with my adult daughter.

Thanks for the tag, @julieclair !

Favorites:
Rebecca
Sound of Music
And I can‘t decide between Shakespeare in Love and The King‘s Speech!

Want to see:
It Happened One Night
An American in Paris
Schindler‘s List (I learned & played the theme from the soundtrack in college, but I haven‘t seen the film!)

Didn‘t like:
The English Patient
Chicago
The Hurt Locker

#tlt #ThreeListThursday

It‘s been a hot minute since I‘ve joined in #ThreeListThursday #TLT but since I loves me some movies, I had to join in. Thanks to my Dad, I did well with 88/96!

My top 3 from this list:

1️⃣ The Greatest Show On Earth: great memories watching this with my dad SO MANY TIMES! 🎪

2️⃣ The Silence of the Lambs: just rewatched it a month or so ago. Still just as 😱

3️⃣ The Sound of Music: a favorite of my mom, how can you not sing along?🎶

Few ideas for 'Now' discussion of Sense & Sensibility. I can't wait to see what everyone read & watched! 📖📚📺

Watched these two adaptations over the last two evenings and I truly love both. I had forgotten Anna Madeley (Mrs. Hall of All Creatures Great & Small) was Miss Lucy Steele. Maybe the 2008 3 episode series has a slight edge since it has more content than 1995 film.

I spent this afternoon working on my reading journal and watching the Sense and Sensibility movie. I've always loved this adaptation. I feel that it highlights all the best parts and portrays all the relationships even better than the book 😅
